I deploy filebeat to openshift 3.11 by daemonset .The log format is json like this below:  
{"log":"\u0009at org.springframework.aop.framework.CglibAopProxy$CglibMethodInvocation.invokeJoinpoint(CglibAopProxy.java:746)\n","stream":"stderr","time":"2021-09-18T05:57:04.787203348Z"}  
{"log":"\u0009at org.springframework.aop.framework.ReflectiveMethodInvocation.proceed(ReflectiveMethodInvocation.java:163)\n","stream":"stderr","time":"2021-09-18T05:57:04.787237471Z"}  
{"log":"\u0009at org.springframework.aop.aspectj.MethodInvocationProceedingJoinPoint.proceed(MethodInvocationProceedingJoinPoint.java:88)\n","stream":"stderr","time":"2021-09-18T05:57:04.787262424Z"}

and my config is below：  
filebeat.config:  
inputs:  
# Mounted `filebeat-inputs` configmap:  
path: ${path.config}/inputs.d/_.yml  
# Reload inputs configs as they change:  
reload.enabled: false  
modules:  
path: ${path.config}/modules.d/_.yml  
# Reload module configs as they change:  
reload.enabled: false

# Uncommnet this part and remove `filebeat.config.inputs` when running in Openshift and cri-o

filebeat.autodiscover:  
providers:  
- type: kubernetes  
include\_pod\_uid: true  
hints.enabled: true  
templates:  
- condition.regexp:  
kubernetes.container.name: '.+'  
config:  
- type: docker  
containers:  
path: "/var/log/pods/\*${data.kubernetes.pod.uid}/"  
ids:  
- "${data.kubernetes.container.name}"  
multiline:  
pattern: '^[[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}'  
negate: true  
match: after  
json:  
message\_key: log

# To enable hints based autodiscover, remove `filebeat.config.inputs` configuration and uncomment this:

#filebeat.autodiscover:

# providers:

# - type: kubernetes

# hints.enabled: true

processors:

- add\_cloud\_metadata:

as you know，multiline can't work。  
Is there some config need to modify？  
thanks a lot
